We enjoyed a fantastic dinner on Friday evening, at the traditional french restaurant Le Bistro des Gourmets in Parnell. Hosted by Stéphane Labourie from Bordeaux negociants Établissements Jean-Pierre Moueix, He presented an stunning lineup of their greatest estates from the famed Pomerol appellation on the Right Bank. Starting with Champagne Lilbert-Fils Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs, we then had four Merlot dominant wines. The Terrine starter was matched with Esperance de Trotanoy 2014 and Château Bourgneuf 2016. The main course of Confit de Canard was paired with two incredible rare 2016s, Château Certan-May and Château Hosanna. Finally we finished with a wonderful Château Coutet Barsac 2007 which is really hitting it's stride.
